False Witness

So, when I first started up Assassin's Creed: Unity on the PC using my DualShock 4, I was pretty shocked to see the Playstation button overlay automatically being used. I've been used to seeing nothing but the 360 overlay on multiplatform ports for years now. I mean, I've grown accustomed to seeing the 360 buttons and translating them to the PS buttons (used a DS3 on PC before I got my DS4) over the years, but it was really nice just seeing the button prompts for the controller I'm actually using.
Are there any other PC games out there that use the Playstation button overlay when using the PS4 controller (or at least have the option)?
If not, it's a feature I hope becomes a standard in the future. Multiplatform games already have the overlays created for each system, so there really isn't too much of a reason not to match it up with the controller you are using on PC.
I was also impressed by the fact that Ubisoft just used a simple plug and play solution. It automatically detected the DS4 that I had plugged in and switched to the correct overlay. I hope more companies start including this auto-detection in their PC releases, even though the DS4 doesn't have official drivers out for it.
